I see therapy as a secure space where people can explore who they are and how they can overcome whatever obstacles they may face without fear of judgment. I approach my position with compassion, patience, and a sense of humor. Opening up to a stranger is not easy, and I respect the work it takes on a client's end to participate in therapy. Clients can gain a greater sense of insight into who they are by reflecting on their identity, life experiences, and relationships with themselves and others. My background includes work with survivors of childhood trauma, LGBTQ+ clients, older adults, refugees, and young men.
While I prioritize self-exploration and insight, I also help clients gain concrete skills with which they can empower themselves. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including relational and psychodynamic frameworks, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I approach my work with social justice and trauma-informed perspectives.
Whether you are dealing with a depressive episode, a traumatic event, a crisis of identity, or any other issue you need to talk about, I will strive to create a space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and find ways to identify and achieve your goals.
